Oh I mostly agree, but you think the Dems are making trans equality a hill to die on? ... Which Dems? ... Yeah, I don't see it.

The majority of Washington Democrats are scared to openly talk about racism and other kinds of discrimination. They don't want to "lose the silent center" or some bullshit.

If you want (some) Dems to drop their values, maybe they gotta find them first.

I admit I'm going back a few years. And perhaps not 'a hill to die on' but a notable part of the platform.

I think the answer should be simple- we stand against racism everywhere. Anywhere it is existing needs to stop.
